VOLUME 14, ISSUE 38 FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2016 PO Box 75, North Waterboro, ME 04061 • 247-1033 • news@waterbororeporter.com FREE www.waterbororeporter.com Complex upgrades By Brigit McCallum brigit@waterbororeporter.com While the excitement is high for all who have been practicing, playing and rooting for their teams at the new Massabesic High School Athletic Complex, two community-based groups have been working hard to build financial support for phases two and three of the overall project. The stadium, complete with track, field, lighting and bleachers comprises phase one, which is slated to be complete by September’s end. The original proposal, to expend up to $6.8M of which the bond was to be $4.9M and $1.9 from capital reserve, donations, grants and other source that was put to voters in November 2014 was defeated. The proposal that was approved in June, 2015, had been sharply cut, asking voters to expend up to $3.95M of which the bond was $3.15M and $800,000 from capital reserve, donations, grants and other sources. According to Massabesic Ath- letic Boosters President Jennifer Russell, many items had to be left out to lower the amount to what was asked for at the second vote. Early this year, even as activity to build phase one got underway, the two groups were organizing a major fundraising campaign to raise the $800,000 to complete the larger project. These two groups, the Fundraising Subcommittee, chaired by Activities Director Brendan Scully and the Massabesic Athletic Boosters, chaired by Russell, have embarked on a major campaign to fund elements that had been cut. Phase two has a time goal of Spring 2017, and includes completing the tennis court, locker room and corral renovations. Phase three, with a time goal of 2018, would see the creation of a complete wellness center at the high school. According to Russell, the boosters group, made up of about ten active members, is the non-profit recipient of and fiscal umbrella for the funds for the project.

COURTESY PHOTO LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED Land trust earns national recognition By Allison Williams awilliams@waterbororeporter.com Shooting champs No Nonsense Nancy, left, and Smoky Sue, were the 2016 Maine State Champions at the shooting competition held on Sept. 9 in Berwick. COURTESY PHOTO The Three Rivers Land Trust, which serves Acton, Alfred, Shapleigh, Lebanon, and Sanford/Springvale, has been awarded accreditation, signifying its confidence that the trusts’ lands will be forever protected. Almost 15 million acres of farms, forests, and natural areas, about the size of the state of West Virginia, have been permanently conserved by accredited land trusts. “This is a huge achievement, demonstrating the Board’s commitment to permanent land conservation in our communities,” said Jean Noon, President of Three Rivers. “This rigorous accreditation process has helped us determine and implement standards and practices that ensure uniform and fair procedures for our land transactions and record (Continued on page 4) Thunder over Stones Beaver Creek tell story By Cynthia Matthews Cowboy Action Shooting, reminiscent of Wild West shows, was on view this past weekend at the Berwick range of the Sanford-Springvale Fish and Game Protection Association, known as Beaver Creek, for the Maine State Championship - Thunder Over Beaver Creek. Starting on Friday, Sept. 9, shooters from all over the U.S. and Canada came to compete in this Single Action Shooting Competition, hosted by the Beaver Creek Desperados, the local branch of the Single Action Shooting Society or SASS, who have been hosting this competition for the last 8 years. There were more than 75 shooters competing, including local Maine characters such as No Nonsense Nancy (the 2015 Ladies Division Maine State Champion), Kid Rich, Rootin Tootin Tim and several others. For Morgan Wind-Dancer of Sanford, who won second place in the ladies division last year, this was her fifth year participating in the competition. Morgan Wind-Dancer began target practicing at the shooting range years ago. She once saw a cowboy action group and thought, “I’d like to try that!” She asked the group about it, they showed her some of the guns and shooting techniques, and invited her to come to Berwick to see what they did. She fell in love with it. “The next day, we bought some guns,” said husband Shoeless Lou. “Shooting makes her beam. Anything that makes her smile like that is worth it.” The competition began with side matches on Friday, with the main events taking place on Saturday and Sunday ending with a shoot off. “It was a great time,” said Shoeless Lou. “The rain only held us off for about half an hour.” Events included Long Range Rifle, Lever Action Rifle, Fastest Shotgun, Speed Pistol, Speed Rifle, Cowboy Bowling Pins, Accuracy and “Wind Bunch” – a scene from the 1969 movie by the same name. The shooting takes place at targets located in and around various windows of buildings/façades designed by the group, such as a church, a bank, a marshal’s office, a saloon, dentist office, etc. playing out famous scenarios or incidents from movie scenes. “There are four or five guys who build the façades,” said Lou. Proceeds from participant registrations go toward building supplies, and the rest go to awards. The winning male and female shooters receive a big Buckle, similar to those at a Rodeo. Morgan Wind-Dancer had a lot of trouble with her knee, according (Continued on page 5) Humans have an irrepressible urge to memorialize their personal and cultural history. For thousands of years, one of the more effective methods to do so has involved stone cutting. The Buxton-Hollis Historical Society’s program on Tuesday, Sept. 20, at 6:30 p.m., will feature Paul Barasel, who has been fascinated by and has studied gravestone carvings for more than forty years. He will illustrate how gravestones document human lives, social and cultural history, matters of life and death, and popular culture. You can also learn how the art of the stone carver can be further preserved by us today by “stone rubbing,” which creates an image of the person, places, and symbolic beliefs individualized and celebrated by each gravestone. For example, the gravestone of one of the area’s most influential and earliest settlers, the Reverend Dr. Paul Coffin (buried in the South Buxton Cemetery), gives us the history of his most important accomplishments. Unfortunately it is sparse on his personal life, except for verifying his birth and his death, so we may have to look to other gravestones in order to fill in the blanks. However, as a means of obtaining correct dates for historical and genealogical purposes, this stone is a clear expression of (Continued on page 3) REPORTER PAGE 2 Friday, September 16, 2016 Future reporters These second graders at Line Elementary School recently learned about the interviewing process and other aspects of publishing a newspaper.

Usually the building is open only once a year for the Annual Open House in July, but this year, with the Limerick Families Tree display, they decided to open it for a second time. The main focus will be the display that was first shown in July. When it débuted in July, there were 135 leaves before the doors opened, but as people came to view the tree, the tree’s creator, Limerick resident Shirley Keller, collected more information about local families. Saturday’s display will include 25 new leaves that Keller has been able to add since then. Keller will be on hand to answer questions about the 160 leaves, and hopefully, to gather more info and add more! Did you have a chance to connect with your Grandparents last week for Grandparents Day? Maybe you spoke about your family tree. What a great time to share your family history. The Limerick Families Tree will be the only family tree on display at this time, however, according to Keller, “We don’t have any other trees lined up right now.” She added, “We also invite others to display their family tree. If anyone has one (to share), they can come by at 8:30 a.m. on that day to display it in the Academy.” The Academy building itself is worth a visit. It is the third site of the Limerick Academy, founded in 1803, the others having burned, built in 1881. Once you enter the building, you are in the entryway. Turn right and pass through the door and you are in the classroom. This was the high school, a oneroom schoolhouse. The historical society thinks that the headmaster’s room or office was in the back. According to Del Floyd, society member, even the historical society has “no idea how it was set up.” It is assumed that they TOWN OF WATERBORO NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The Town of Waterboro Board of Selectmen will hold a Public Hearing on Tuesday, Sept. 27, 2016 at 6 p.m. at the Town Hall. The purpose of this public hearing is to hear comment on proposed amendments to the General Assistance Ordinance. The proposed amendments to the General Assistance Ordinance are available on the town website, www.waterboro-me.gov and at the Town Hall during normal business hours. studied the classics, Latin and Greek, however. The Odd Fellows rented the upper floor from the time the Academy was built/opened. They paid $36/ year for the space. In 1926, the town consolidated 11 district schools and built a new school on Washington Street, which is now the Municipal Building, and vacated the Academy. Then the Odd Fellows took over the entire building. In 2003, the Odd Fellows disbanded and the building was put up for sale. The historical society was able to purchase it for $1. Nothing had been done to the building for years, and the society has invested about $38,000 to secure the building, shore up the floor, repair the steeple, bring the electricity up to code, and repair the roof. There are no amenities (no bathrooms), and nothing cosmetic has been done. The Limerick Familes Tree will be on display at the Limerick Academy during their second open house on Sept. 17.

GRAVESTONE TALK (Continued from page 1) the life of a man who was “…a pious learned, and faithful Minister of Jesus Christ in this place for more than sixty years.” Some of the saddest gravestones are those belonging to young children. Too often a family had to bury all or nearly all of their offspring. One such collection at Bear Hill Cemetery in Hollis has five little gravestones all in a row, and the family has no more children named after the last one died. From the dates on the stones, it seems probable that all of the children were sickened by one of the many virulent maladies such as influenza or whooping cough that we hardly consider a life-ordeath matter now. Often cherubs graced these small memories. Dr. Coffin’s gravestone has a lot of writing and very little embellishment. This may be more the exception rather than the rule of early stone gravestone carvers. Although the Puritans preached a life of plainness and absence of decoration, often the gravestones in the late 17th and early 18th centuries belied their Spartan ethic. Indeed, their gravestones were often quite fancy and full of symbolism, depending on the fashion, place, and date. You will have an opportunity to explore these apparent incongruities with Mr. Barasel, who will address gravestone funeral art styles and symbols from the early 1600s This gravestone belonging to Rev. Paul Coffin D.D. is located at the South Buxton Cemetery and will be discussed at a talk on Sept. 17. COURTESY PHOTO through the late 1880s on Tuesday. Refreshments will be served; suggested donations are $10 for adults and $8 for students and Seniors. The Buxton-Hollis Historical Society is located at 100 Main Street, Bar Mills, Buxton (Route 4A).

We move forward with confidence toward building stronger and healthier communities through land conservation.” Attaining it was a three-year challenge for the board which worked to collect the data to validate the trust’s policies and assemble the records the trust manages. Three Rivers is a member of the Southern Maine Conservation Collaborative whose help was critical in pulling the data together. The region it serves includes 137,507 acres, a population of about 35,000 and many lakes that attract a seasonal population. It was founded in 2,000 by a small group of citizens concerned about the sale of thousands of acres of farm and forestland in the area that were subsequently developed into house lots. In order to provide an alternative the trust was begun and since then has conserved 2,210 acres of public and private land through easements and now owns an additional 469 acres. Three Rivers was among 38 land trusts across the U.S. to achieve accreditation or have it renewed in August. It joins more than 350 accredited land trusts that demonstrate their commitment to professional excellence through accreditation, helping to maintain the public’s trust in their work.

He provides chiropractic care for the Sanford Mainers and works with many high school, college and professional athletes. During his talk he stated that the belief fats are bad is a misconception. It is an amazing food source, that our nerves are encased by fats. High levels of sugar can clog blood vessels, that corn, wheat and soy are all sugar based. He also noted there is no scientific basis for the food pyramid, that it is trans fats that cause damage, and that we are not supposed to eat a lot of sugar. His audience questioned him on what he himself ate and it appeared he stuck to a very healthy diet, including soft boiled eggs for breakfast, coffee with cream and a protein shake. The meeting was led by Harland Eastman who announced he was saddened to learn Willowbrook is closing and its artifacts will be going to various museums.

Town Administrator Gary Lamb announced the change at the selectmen’s meeting Tuesday evening, saying that it is Foglio’s choice to leave, to pursue his own personal and business-related projects. The board will hold an Executive Session at their Sept. 27 meeting to discuss how to proceed from here, expecting to at least be looking for an interim director. Clancy appointed to school board A former Board member, Lindsey Clancy has applied for the open Waterboro position on the RSU 57 Board of Directors. Clancy was appointed to fill the term until the next election in June 2017 at the Waterboro selectmen’s meeting Tuesday evening. Workshops On Tuesday, Sept. 20, at 6 pm, Waterboro Water District and Selectmen will hold a workshop to discuss the possibility of locating a new standpipe (water tower) on land behind the Transfer Station On Bennett Hill Road in East Waterboro. The selectmen will hold a workshop to consider next steps in the process of revising the town’s Shoreland Zoning Ordinance, on Oct. 11, following their regular meeting that starts at 6 p.m. They will look at both the existing ordinance that is in effect and the revised ordinance accepted by the Planning Board. They will be asking CEO Glenn Charette to show the sections that are stricter than the state Shoreland Zoning Ordinance, and the rationale for those changes. Whether or not the town will engage in regulating and issuing permits for docks will also be discussed. Lamb raised the concern that in the meetings and hearings on the Shoreland Zoning Ordinance thus far, only Ossipee Lake residents have been present, while the ordinance will affect the zone around Lake Arrowhead, Lake Sherburne and other water bodies in town as well.

Call gie, at Logan Champlin and Emma Rutledge scored first half goals and Maddy Pomerleau made it stand up with excellent goaltending to lift host Massabesic to a clutch 2-1 win over Marshwood in varsity field hockey on Tuesday, Sept. 13. The game pitted two undefeated powerhouses in class A east, each playing their fifth game of the season, as the Hawks flew in with a 4-0 mark having outscored their opponents by hefty 23-1. The Mustangs, for their part, equalled Marshwood’s gaudy numbers as the gang in green galloped into the match with a tidy 4-0 record and a crazy 29-2 bulge in the scoring column. The Mustangs struck early, just 4:36 into the game, as Champlin banged home a loose ball after a lengthy multi-player battle in front. Seven minutes later Rutledge gave Massabesic all the scoring they’d need when she ripped a shot toward goal that glanced off a defender and past Marshwood’s Shannon Goblin (four saves) in goal. Madison Person got the lead back to one at 2-1 when she scored at the 18 minute mark, leaving plenty of time for the Hawks to tie it, but Pomerleau turned in four key saves late to preserve the win and keep the Mustangs unbeaten at 5-0.

COMPLEX UPGRADES (Continued from page 1) Planning is underway for renovation of the (Mustang) corral, the building located behind the home team bleachers. Russell says that currently it has two small team rooms and a center room that is used by the trainer mostly for storage. The upstairs is for the game announcer. The plan is to expand that building on both sides to create locker rooms, storage, public restrooms and a trainer’s room. The other part of phase two is the tennis courts. There are currently three courts, located next to West Road. Originally the plan was to resurface the courts, according to Scully, but planners realized that was very expensive, was not considered the best solution for dealing with old, worn court surfaces, and still left the school with only three courts. The optimal number is five, since there are five matches played by each of the varsity and junior varsity teams, and there are times when the smaller number of courts makes it difficult to complete play before dark. Ironically, last year the school’s leach field was determined to be ready to fail, and because of very good soils tests, it was decided to create one large leach field for all three buildings, Massabesic East, West and Central, in the middle field. This had the effect of freeing the former East leach field as a potential location for new courts. According to RSU 57 Business Manager Colin Walsh, engineers are now looking at the possibility of expanding there, to build five Wishing our athletes a great season! GO GREEN! -from the Reporter staff new courts. They expect a cost estimate in the next few weeks. Superintendent Larry Malone sees this possibility as a much better location that is more central to the school campus and more inclusive, if it works out. The two groups are working with a media company for the high-stakes fundraising that is just getting underway, and a new brochure they have available describes both the need and the solutions to long-standing problems with elements of the complex, as well as an ambitious effort to augment the money raised by the municipal bond. According to Leo Binette, owner of Lakeside Market in Waterboro, the media firm is doing grant writing as well as developing campaign advertising media. Its newly created brochure describes three different ways those interested in supporting the complex financially can do so. One format is called Massabesic Leaders. This initial campaign provides opportunities for major donors to receive naming rights for donations of $100,000 to $400,000 for naming the entire complex, the field, the track, wellness center, baseball and softball complex, tennis complex and building. Another way to donate is to be a Massabesic Sponsor, for donations between $2,500 and $75,000. These donors will be recognized on a plaque permanently mounted inside the athletic complex, on other facility material and programs. A third way to participate is to become a Pathway Partner by making donations between $250 and $2,500. These donors will have the name of their family, class, business or loved one on granite borders or brick pavers of different sizes on a pathway that will begin at the entrance by the rear ticket booth at the stadium and continue through the common area between the concession stand and corral. This will be an ongoing fundraiser and will be installed in phases as bricks are purchased. Jim Carroll, member of the fundraising subcommittee, and a former school board member of Limerick, says that alumni are being invited to contribute as Pathway Partners. A database of class lists of the 6,000 to 7,000 graduates of Massabesic since its creation in 1969, are being organized, to broaden the scope of fundraising, through postal and email. Another fundraising focus will be members of the public in the six towns who will benefit as well from the new facilities, when the public is able to make use of the track, the wellness center and the tennis courts in the future. While both groups are working to raise funds for phase two projects, the Boosters have a particular interest in what is being called the fitness/wellness center. Russell says, “When the boosters started looking at what was cut, and how we might be able to fill the gap, the one thing that we felt we most wanted to see still happen was the fitness/wellness center. It is something that could be used by all students, whether on a sports team or not, as well as faculty and community members.” She says that the concept of the wellness center really came out of the public forums, where community CAN-DO DRIVING SCHOOL Limington • Sokokis Trail Buxton Massabesic H.S. • Newcastle Sacopee Valley H.S. • Brunswick Community Center Brownfield Lincoln Academy Owned & Operated by Sally & Ray Pulsifer 793-8227 GOOD LUCK TEAMS! COURTESY PHOTO members asked, if facilities were to be upgraded, how might they contribute to fitness for all community members. Russell acknowledges that the cost of such a project is above and beyond anything that boosters have tried to do in the past, but they are working to make it happen with spirit-raising fundraisers like the Winter Carnival, bus trips such as the one to a Red Sox game over the summer and various marathons where booster volunteers have been paid stipends for their help. Russell emphasizes the importance of any amount of donation in the effort to raise the needed funds. “The $25 and $50 contributions add up fast, and every bit counts.” She describes the many ways that anyone in the communities can help in the effort. “We need folks to buy food at concessions, give donations to our jars, buy items we sell, but what we really need to make our fundraising a success is for people to volunteer their time when we ask for it.” The group’s Facebook page is where they regularly post signup sheets when volunteers are needed, but Russell says, “We don’t always get the numbers we need. It’s really a lot of fun to be part of the work, and we do ‘on the job training!’ If everyone who wants to see these facilities continue to be improved would give just a few hours/work just one event, it would put us over the top!” The boosters plan to have information tables where donations can be made during home football games. Information will also be at the concession stand at home games of all teams. Their website will be updated with fundraising information at www.massabesicboosters.org. The fundraising subcommittee is composed of business owners Leo Binette of Lakeside Market. Jim Carroll of J.P. Carroll and Dominic Vermette, of Horace Mann Insurance, who is also a School Board member, as well as MHS softball coach Kevin Tutt and Massabesic Athletic Boosters president Jennifer Russell. The boosters’ officers are Russell, Tim Guinard, Melissa Guilbeault and Tracey St. Laurent. For more information, email massabesicathleticboosters@gmail.com.

Folsom, 90, of Alfred, a well-known businessman and affectionately named, “Grandpa Folsom” passed away on Sept. 3, 2016, surrounded by his loving family, at the Gosnell Memorial John H. Folsom Hospice House in Scarborough. John was born in Springvale, on Dec. 2, 1925, the son of Robert and Edith (Hunt) Folsom. He was educated in the Sanford school system, graduating from Sanford High School in 1944, after which he served with the U.S. Army in Europe during World War II. Having been wounded in action in Belgium in February 1945, he received medial care in a Holland hospital for nine months. John was presented with a Purple Heart and was medically discharged and flown home to Maine. Mr. Folsom attended the University of Maine in Orono, where he met his future wife, Jane Hastings, of Fryeburg, and graduated in 1949 with a B.S. degree. That same year he joined Folsom Brothers Furniture in Springvale, a family business started by his father and uncle in 1898, which later became Folsoms Furniture in Alfred. Mr. Folsom retired from the daily responsibilities of running the business in 1996, but has continued to be involved as chairman. Until this year, John was always at Folsoms greeting customers and drawing detailed delivery maps with his personnel remembrances of the local area. John loved the Maine winters and he spent many weekends downhill skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain with his family and friends. He was also very active in community affairs throughout his life. John was president of the Sanford Kiwanis Club and the Sanford/ Springvale YMCA. He was a past master of the Springvale Lodge A.F. & A.M. #190 and served as trustee of the former Sanford Savings and Loan Association and of H. D. Goodall Hospital in Sanford. John’s “home away from home” was the store. He was a man of integrity and loved to tell a good story. He was very honored to go with his son-in-law, Rick Leach, in 2015 to Washington, D.C. as a part of the Honor Flight Maine organization. He and fellow veterans toured the monuments and saluted the many heroes that did not make it home. In all the years he owned the business, he would close his doors on all holidays that remembered our veterans. John will be dearly missed by his family and community.
